Etude Wines<br />
In 1982, Etude was founded on a winemaking philosophy that begins<br />
in the vineyard long before the harvest and, that superior grape<br />
growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker,<br />
resulting in authentic varietal expression.<br />
The Wines<br />
Etude specializes in a selection of white and two classic red varietals-<br />
Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Though modeled on the best<br />
from Burgundy and Bordeaux, these wines speak clearly of their<br />
contemporary California origins, combining rich, ripe fruit <strong>with</strong> an<br />
elegant structure and opulent mouth feel.<br />
Etude’s Estate Pinot Noirs, including a highly esteemed bottling made<br />
from rare heirloom selections and two single-vineyard offerings, are<br />
vinified from grapes grown on the Etude Estate Vineyards in the cool<br />
Carneros region. Fruit for the winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced<br />
from the warmer, northern half of the Napa Valley.<br />
Jon Priest<br />
Winemaker Jon Priest strongly believes and lives out the Etude<br />
philosophy. This has allowed for the continual cultivation of the<br />
highest quality wines, reflective of the profound influences of the<br />
land and the season, as well as the hand of its steward; hence, the<br />
concept of winegrowing.<br />
